The James Brown Orchestra is funkier than the JBs. Either way, they are both first.

Than Sly and P-Funk.

No mentions of Dyke and the Blazers and Charles Wright and the 103 Street Rhythm Band.

James Brown... but no Prince? whofarted

Sure you can't categorize the man, but Prince's funk and R&B jams are stellar.

(Days of Wild, DMSR, Kiss, Gonna Be A Beautiful Night, Baby I'm a Star, 1999, 1+1+1 is 3, Controversy, Clouds, Get Off, Musicology, Temptation, SOTT, Pussy Control, Interactive, Lovesign...the list goes on and on)

^The question was bands, not solo artists. But I suppose the mid-90s version of the NPG could make the list.

...LOL...Wow, so they waited decades to go into the studio and sing Christmas songs? I think Chaka Khan did the same thing..Then again I'm not sure if she has produced a Xmas Album after being in the insudtry for decades...Maybe she has songs recorded but no finished project...

If it was solo, I wouldn't have put Prince. There's thousands of R&B/soul acts and he wouldn't have come to mind. I rarely go to the Prince section.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
